Cala Jannita
Basilicata
Tucked beneath the cliffs south of Maratea town, this small cove is reached via a long flight of steps cut into the rock, keeping crowds thinner than the more accessible beaches nearby. The water is notably clear, deepening quickly from a narrow pebble strand, with limestone cliffs framing the view toward the Christ the Redeemer statue on Monte San Biagio. Fig and myrtle scrub covers the slopes above.
